sketch dump 12/16

Hey we're nearing the end of the year! There's not much to show these days. I've been busy working on a few things I can't show yet, but here are a couple sketches I did last week!

Also last week I reviewed Frozen and Out of the Furnace, so check those out!

I'll have more stuff to show soon! Stay tuned.

Complete 30 characters post for 2013

Oh hey! Not much went on last week because I was working on serious submissions for seriously awesome things, but I DID finish all of my 30 characters. So here is the full character roster!

I was able to color over a third of the characters, and over half of them were female! That's cool. Fire Marsha is one of my favorites. See the full roster after the jump!

Monday Sketch Dump 11/25

Oh hey look it's Monday again.

Here's today's character for the 30 character challenge. She's a buff ginger adventurer I think. The rest from this previous week are after the jump!

Monday Sketch Dump 11/18

Oh hey, sketches yo.

Illustrated Friday: Sif and the Warriors Three

This took way longer than expected but I think it was worth it for the colors! So a while back I was talking with some twitterpeeps and I was suddenly struck with the awesome idea a cartoon about Sif and the Warriors Three being a punk-rock band but also traveling around, solving mysteries and fighting monsters. It would be like Thor+Jem and the Holograms+Josie and the Pussycats! And I finally made this poster for that. I'm also thinking Heimdel would be their band manager.

I would watch the crap out of that show.

Monday Make a Wish Sketch Dump 11/11

Hey there all! We've got the 30 characters challenge under way, and I have not been great about updating them, so here's all the characters from last week to today!

 I femme fatale in full color!

 He's a colorful hacker!

31 Inktober Mosnters

Here's all the monsters I done did for Inktober! Have a look-see fi you missed any!

Monday Sketch Dump 11/04

Oh hey! Halloween happened and Inktober ended. Here are the last remnants of the monsters along with the start of the 30 characters challenge for November!

She's a cute and badass bat-girl. More after the jump!

Illustrated Friday: HULK SMASH

This isn't actually a new illustration, it's from my review of The Avengers last year,  But I combined the Banner and Hulk posters together and added some more effects and think it came out quite nice! I'm not sure why I didn't do it this way in the first place. HULK SMASH.

Monster Monday Update

It's almost Halloween and that means that Monster updates and Inktober is almost up! The monsters are invading! Take a look at some of the monsters I did this past week:

This guy is cute and fuzzy. I like him. More after the jump!

Illustrated Friday: Burn Baby Burn

Oh hey I worked this to a point where I don't hate it!

What do you think of the colors?

big late monster post

Hey there! Last weekend was New York Comic Con so I needed a week to get settled and recuperate. But now I'm back! Here are all the monsters I did last week for Inktober:

More after the jump!

Illustrated Friday: Mystery Inc. International

Hey a new Illustration is out today! Lookit it!

I colored in the ink version I did a little while ago(what do you want for me I'm at NYCC!!). I had an idea of doing a Scooby Gang with more people of color. Not that there's anything wrong with the original, but it's aloooottta white people. African-American Fred, Indian-American Daphne, Japanese-American Vemla, and Jewish Shaggy. I thought about making Scooby a Corgi, but it would kind of ruin the whole "Big dog is a scaredy-cat" dynamic. Maybe I'll do a more graphical version for posters and shirts later! What do you guys think?

Monday Sketch dump 10/07

So hey, since it's October, there's this thing called Inktober in which you do an inked drawing every day. So I decided to draw monsters every day of October! Here are the ones I've done so far:

This mummy came out pretty nice. More spoooookiness after the jump!

Illustrated Friday: NightVale poster 2

Oh hey! I made another Nightvale poster about one of my favorite underrated characters!

Not as detailed as the last one, but still interesting. Also here's a variation:

Monday Sketch Dump 09/30

Hey there fellas! Wanna see some sketches?

And more after the jump!

Illustrated Friday: Nightvale Poster

Hey guys! Regular followers of mine might be wondering why there's no Friday Sketched Screenings post. That's because I'm cutting down to one review a week so I can focus more time on doing cool illustrations! And I'm starting it this Friday with a cool Fan Nightvale poster!

If you're not already a fan of the amazing podcast Welcome to Nightvale, it's a crazy podcast about a small desert town in which strange occurrences happen regularly and without warning. It's a mix of Twin Peaks, Alan Wake, and The Twilight Zone, and it's probably the funniest, creepiest, smartest, heart-filled podcast out there. If you ARE a fan, then you'll know all about the Vague Yet Menacing Government Agency and the important work they do, so I designed a badge for them! I was going to do feathers on the batwings but it became a bit too complicated. I think it turned out really well! I really like how the wings and banner form the outline of the classic Nightvale eye. Check out the rough version:

I have other ideas for Nightvale stuff, so this may not be the last Nightvale-themed illustration. See you guys on Monday!

Life drawing and birthdays

Hey there guys! I started taking a life drawing class, so check out these classical-type drawings!

More drawings after the jump!

bookmarks!

Hey it's a Monday! I made bookmarks! Fancy that!

I made character-based bookmarks for The Wrong Girl, each with a QR code to the title page. QR codes are cool now. More bookmarks and sketches after the jump!

a post I guess

Hey it's Monday! Here's your sketch update!

So if you haven't noticed, I finally picked a new avatar:

Check out these sketches after the jump!

Boo!

Hey there! I did my a kick-ass poster for Quite Productions for their new movie, "Boo"! I think it came out pretty well.

You'll also notice I have a new banner! What do you think? I've been updating my website and blog and such. Still some more to do. But for now, check out my newish site! more sketches after the jump!

inky stuff

Hey! New stuff Monday! That's what day it is! Here are new sketch stuff update things!

This guy I did in brush and ink. I'm trying to get back into ink! More after the jump!

mo sketches

Hey guys! I was busy with personal things last week, so I did not get a lot done. But here are some sketches I done did!

I did these on the bus and they surprisingly came out well!

Devil guy!

I got new shoes so I drew them for practice.

Some people I sketched on the street. NEED TO DRAW FAST.

These two I sketched this morning. I think they're pretty interesting.

I only had 1 new page on Dime-Store Noir last week. But two pages this week! Probably! If my computer stops acting up!

Also, I reviewed Elysium on Sketched Screenings! So go read that.

See you next week!

weekly update

Hey there, I have some new stuff to show!

I ended my Toon Boom class and I can now safely say I know how to make stuff in Toon Boom! Here are some little guys I made with it!

the royal post

Hey there! It's Monday again! Who let that happen Huh? HUH?! I WILL FIND YOU!! I uh um I mean look at these sketches I did!

These were for a small comics shop in Landsale that I visited, Royal Comics and Gaming! They're pretty cool and this is their mascot, King Royal! More stuff after the jump!

NEW COMICS NEW NEW NEW!

Hey there! I've got more new comics! I'm also exhausted! YAY COMICS.

This is another comic I did for Greening Forward. I think last week's comic came out better because it had a more dynamic composition and this takes place in Bangladesh, which I do not know a lot about and didn't have a lot of time to research. But I still think it's pretty good. Especially panel 1 with that beautiful beautiful three-point perspective! PERSPECTIVE!

Also last week, I had two new pages of The Wrong Girl on Dime-Store Noir! Page 3 and Page 4. Go check those out if you haven't been reading!

And also I know have a Facebook page for Dime-Store Noir so if you could like it that would be cool I guess. What kinds of things would you like to see on the Dime-Store Noir Facebook page? More after the jump!

The Wrong Earth Savers

Hey guys! I have comic pages to show off!

This is a new comic for Greening Forward and the Earth Saver's Club. I think it came out rather well! More after the jump!

Teenage pokemon and stuff

Oh geez! I almost forgot a blog update! Well been busy working on comics pages, but here are some sketches for you.

But first, LOOK AT THIS THING I ANIMATED. I DID THE THING.

I animated the Pikachu short at the beginning. I think it came out really well. I'm also super happy I'm included in this episode as this is a really good episode about teenage romance and the lack thereof. Tell me what you think of it!

I did some clothing sketches to do research on shirt creases. 

 These are a couple of characters for an upcoming Halloween comic.

Sketches using reference from Ahrum-Stock, who's pretty great if you need certain types of reference.

Also last week, I reviewed In The Flesh, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.  Go read those!

Also also, new Dime-Store noir page tomorrow! Probably. I'm still working on it. Big perspective shot. I guess we'll see! ahahaha ha ahh.

The wrong sketch

Hey there! New sketches galore! And oh what's this?

Is it the cover of my new Dime-Store Noir story, The Wrong Girl, premiering July 16th? I think it is! Yes a new story is FINALLY coming. What? Oh of course I have all the pages finished ahaha ha ha....LOOK AT THESE SKETCHES AFTER THE JUMP!

Big gay blogpost

Hey there! I have new sketches and stuff!

So the Supreme Court shot down DOMA and prop 8 and it's kind of a big deal. So I did some sketches to celebrate:

 See more after the jump!

The big sleep big tomb raider post

Hey hey it's Monday! I did the sketchings! Sketchedlingings! Sketchy sketchy sketch sketch! Look at the thing I did.

So I hey I finally did some finished versions of the characters from Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep.

From left to right, Carmen Sternwood, Phillip Marlowe, and Vivian Regan.

Harry Jones, Agnes, and Joe Brody.

It was a pretty good mystery. I know I've read it in comic form or seen one of the movies somewhere, it was quite familiar. I should read more noir books and sketch more characters!

Also, I've started playing the new Tomb Raider and it is crazy addictive. Really fun gameplay and incredibly brutal story experience. Here are a coule of sketches I did that were inspired!

This is all I can think of when they talk about the island they're on.

Has anyone made this crossover? I claim it. 

Here's a random doodle of an idea for a cross-dressing superhero I had:

Not sure what I'll do with it yet.

Last week, I also animated a quick little thing on my Tumblr. You should go check it out, as I have no idea how to get it from tumblr to here. Also last week, I reviewed Man of Steel and This is The End on Sketched Screenings! Go check those out! See you next week!
